Abstract

Support vector machine (SVM) can be used for regression analysis and data classification of a data set. In particular, non-linear classification of a given data set is possible by using the (inhomogeneous) polynomial kernel k (x, y) = (1 + xT ċ y)d. In this work, the SVM QP problem with (inhomogeneous) polynomial kernel k (x, y) is expressed as a mixed convex optimization problem with respect to the real variables α ∈ Rl and b ∈ R; and the integer variable d ∈ Z.
